Pros and Cons swaying her emotions,
Like the immense opposites of yin vs yang.

Blocking her ability to eat,
To think,
To function.

Help her collect the pieces of her heart,
Hanging in front of her in the fashion of a vail.

Old distance memories,
Clashing with the sparking sensations of the here and now.

The overwhelming decision,
Pulsing through her mind,
Convulting shocks in her heart.

Focusing on the present,
Only makes her go crazy.

The end is coming near,
Just as I fear.

Time never slows down,
The thought of that makes me want to drown.

How shall I part from my loved ones,
If only the future was something I could outrun.

The unknown brings worries upon worries,
Like a winter storm commencing the flurries.

Those eyes.
The night we met
Sent me in a trance.
Lingering over a jukebox
Silver in my hands
Sharing fresh fries in the diner.
It started with a glance
The rest of the night fell into place
Outlined details I would’ve dreamt of later.
As the hourglass emptied
Dread krept over
Time escaped us.
Those eyes.
Leaving me torn in different directions.
Shove me against a wall
But play with my hair and call me pretty.
I lie in bed now
Wrapped in cotton
Picture you here
Imagining your skin bare
Running my fingertips down your spine
Leaving you with more than just my finger prints.
The idea of calling you mine
Brings life into the hairs on my neck.
Piercingly blue.
Those eyes.

Trapped behind a desk
Gazing out the dense glass.

Repenting her desires
Self-control is foreign to her heart.

She knows she should be starting her homework
As images of him take up her time.

His cotton t shirt
Drapes off her shoulder.

He strums his guitar
Each note drawing her in
Closer and closer.

Like a rattlesnake
Enchanted by a spell.

His t shirt now lies on the floor
The lace on her body is under his control.

He takes his time
Teasing her
The way he knows she likes it.

His breath pressed against her soft cheek
Her toes begin to curl under his will.

Mouth to mouth
Skin to skin
she surrenders, with pleasure.

Reality rings in the classroom
Tearing them away from the covers
Dressing the two in their own clothing
Pushing her out the door.

Overcooked meat slid under the table,
Crumbs vacuumed by furry friends.

Clashing of wine glasses,
Commencing cheers across grateful guests.

The exchange of laughter blissfully intertwined,
Like paths of strangers graciously crossing.

Bumping hands under the table,
Keeping physical contact to freshen the air.

Moments like those come and go,
Like waves pressed against the dense sand.

Leaves caught and carried by the wind,
Dropped off without a goodnight kiss.

Onto the next season it is,
Forgetting the thankful presence of loved ones.

Thoughts purely consumed
With images of you.

The more I discover,
The less I think before I do.

Motivation is taken over
By the scent of your cologne
And press of your skin.

There was no warning
Before I fell hard.

Like the stars orbit the sun,
My free time is under your command.

Sipping black coffee
The way he likes it,
She would know.

Keeping her eyes steady on her device-
Headphones closing off the surroundings.

Flashback seven days prior,
Commencing on a Friday.

Tickling the curves of her hips,
Fulfilling the sensation of her laughter.

Vibrating through his ears,
Streaming out his eyelids,
Sinking into the dimples of joy
That spread across her angelic face.

His spine stretched against the sheets
Intertwined with her legs covered by nothing.

She traces constellations
Full of freckles resting upon his chest.

His lips inviting,
Taking in her consuming thoughts,
Those that one would write only in a diary,
Kept away under a bed.

She should have known not to trust those lips,
Far too loose for her fragile heart.

The characteristics of a stranger
Lie tattooed across their hands
As they reach for their coffee cups.

Seven days is all it took,
Now they can’t even exchange a look.

— The End —
